| 1. | The erection of a house and garage on this site would result in the loss of a green area of open space and would have a detrimental effect on the street scene. The house would also, by virtue of its proximity to the boundary with no. 7 The Cove, have a dominating effect on that dwelling and would result in overshadowing and loss of privacy.
The oak tree in the south east corner of the site is protected by a Tree Preservation Order and it is considered that the pruning proposed on the drawing would not be sustainable or of benefit to the tree which is a prominent landscape feature and in good condition.
The vehicular access to the dwelling is considered to be inadequate to serve the development proposed, by reason of its severely restricted levels of visibility at its junction with the U61901- Yare Road. The development, if permitted, would be likely to give rise to conditions detrimental to highway safety.
The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies HOU15, REC11 and criteria (A), (C) and (E) of Policy HOU7 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which seek to safeguard the character and form of settlements, protect the amenities of the occupiers of adjoining dwellings and safeguard amenity and open space. The proposal is also contrary to Policy TCM13 which seeks to ensure that new development does not prejudice highway safety or the free flow of traffic. |
